As Forests Shrink, Landfills Grow.

Growing demand for sustainable materials in construction have led to an increasing reliance on ‘renewable’ resources, having adverse effects on deforestation, biodiversity loss, carbon release, and soil degradation.

Globally, the construction sector contributes nearly 11% of global carbon emissions. The construction and demolition (C&D) sector is responsible for around 40% of global waste production.

Raw material extraction and processing account for the largest environmental impact in a product’s lifecycle, conservatively at least 40-60%, but often much higher. This stage drives high energy consumption, pollution, and embodied carbon before manufacturing even begins.

At its core, MVP is a platform to scale circular material innovation. By leveraging innovative technology, it disrupts the outdated make-take-waste model with sustainable high-performance materials engineered for durability.

ChopValue demonstrates the impact of transforming waste into value as the commercialized pilot of one MVP waste stream. By using discarded materials over virgin inputs, it achieves 92% of its total carbon savings directly from this circular approach.

Transport is the second largest source of global GHG emissions, with freight transport alone being responsible for nearly 7% of global emissions (International Energy Agency, 2020). Traditional global supply chains built on centralized manufacturing are fragile and inefficient. Shipping materials and products to centralized hubs around the globe leads to higher emissions and supply chain vulnerabilities.

MVP’s focus on hyperlocal sourcing, remanufacturing, and distribution strengthens supply chain resilience, reducing costs and emissions while mitigating risks from climate change, freight interruptions, and shifting trade regulations.

ChopValue’s global network of Microfactories operates in 9 countries with over 80 locations in operation and development. This local and decentralized approach enables 32% less transport CO2e emissions v to the freight associated with commercial alternatives.

Manufacturing has traditionally been designed to capitalize on economies of scale for operational efficiency. Facilities are centered around large-scale production, using energy-intensive machinery and systems to prioritize volume over resilience and sustainability.

MVP’s Microfactory model streamlines the entire production process from raw material to finished product within a compact 2,500–4,500 sq ft space. By leveraging proprietary technology, MVP eliminates energy-intensive processing while producing premium products.

As the commercialized pilot for MVP, ChopValue’s hydraulic press applies immense heat and pressure with water-based resins to form a densified engineered material. Instead of traditional large-scale equipment that produces oversized sheets for cutting, ChopValue uses compact machinery to create modular tiles that build up, reducing CO2e emissions by 41% compared to conventional alternatives.

The rise of mass production of low-cost items has shifted consumer behavior to prioritize price over quality, leading to a cycle of frequent replacements rather than valuing and investing in durable, long-lasting products.

MVP is committed to extending the lifespan not only of discarded waste streams, but also of the circular performance materials themselves. With a focus on superior quality and durability in the manufacturing process, MVP's products are built to last. Their decentralized Microfactory network also offers customers a cost-effective, local solution for repairs and refinishing, further prolonging the product's life and the waste used to create it.

Engineered to be stronger than oak and harder than maple, ChopValue products are designed as a climate positive wood alternative with exceptional durability. With the ability to go through three product life cycles, ChopValue solutions reduce CO2e emissions by 26% compared to conventional commercial alternatives.
